Shibboleth Developers

I forwarded this to the shib-design list earlier today... but haven't 
seen any comments.

It looks good to  me (but I'm  not sure that means  anything  (-:  ).

Also,  I'm  not familiar with current Sun hardware model  numbers -- 
so 220R or Netra XI mean nothing to me. I emailed a  question about 
this to our local sun expert,  but apparently she's already on 
vacation for the holidays.

I  expect, tho, that, in the short term, the linux machines are more 
important.

thanks for your help with this.
